A very common question in the minds of majority of people in the world nowadays is that 'Is there any way through which we can protect ourselves from Corona virus?' The answer to this very important question is 'Yes', the attack by corona virus can not only be prevented but also defeated as well by Yoga and Pranayam and along with that maintaining some measures such as social distancing and self-quarantine.

It is found that corona virus gets into a person's body, replicates itself and severely attacks the person's lungs. At first the immunity of the person fights with it, if it is enough the virus becomes ineffective and the person just becomes carrier of the virus but if the immunity is unable to resist the virus then it affects the respiratory system and interferes in the breathing process. Thus we find that a person must have a good immunity system and strong respiratory system to fight against corona. For that Yoga & Pranayama is the best solution. Pranayama basically consists of different ways and stages of inhaling and exhaling which helps us strengthen our lungs, heart and the nervous system. Along with that it helps us maintain our psychological and spiritual health and provides us with mental peace which is definitely required to cope up with this very situation. It activates all the cells of our body and helps build immunity. Along with pranayama, yoga keeps us physically fit and helps retain flexibility of body and maintain our physique. Another importance of yoga is that it maintains all our internal organs, muscles and bones and makes our body stronger to fight and resist antibodies. Hence, yoga and pranayama gives a very effective way for protecting ourselves and defeating corona.

Apart from yoga and pranayama another way to deal with this deadly virus is self-quarantine, by staying at home and not going out unless extremely required and if there is a need to go outside then must use a mask and maintain social distancing that is a person should not come in physical contact with others. If a person unknowingly comes in physical contact with an infected person(carrier) who himself doesn't know about his infection then the person coming in contact with him might himself get infected if not properly sanitized. Hence, proper hygiene must also be maintained and hands should be washed properly and frequently.

To all the readers I would suggest not to panic or get tensed or frightened. Keep calm do yoga & pranayama, stay at home and maintain social distancing. Be optimistic and be patient till the vaccines arrive as after that corona virus will be compelled to leave our world and our daily schedule will resume.
